Tips For Staying Near Canadian War Museum

Location

Canada's national museum of military history sits on the shores of the River Outaouais just outside downtown Ottawa. The gallery sits in the Nepean Bay and tells the story of every recorded instance of Canadian conflict, from the very distant past to the present.

There are four different sections of the museum itself, Battleground being the earliest recorded history up to 1885, For Crown and Country showcasing the South African and First World Wars, Forged in Fire showcasing the Second World War and a Violent Peace detailing the most current combat from 1945 to the present. For a map and visitor guide of these areas, as well as the Hall of Honour, Lebreton Gallery, Memorial Hall, Regeneration Hall and the Special Exhibitions Gallery, visit their website.

Wi-Fi in the cafeteria and lobby are available, and a free mobile app for a truly interactive experience is available to help visitors get around the museum and learn as much as possible. The app can be downloaded on the iTunes store, and more information can be found on their website.

A number of the below-mentioned hotels are within a 20-minute walk of the museum, but for those farther hotels, a number of routes service the area provided by OC Transpo. Lebreton Transit Station is a 7-minute walk from the museum and routes 8, 86, 87, 95, 96, 97 all stop there, with some stopping immediately in front of the museum itself.

A single-ride cash fare costs $3.40, or $3 when you purchase tickets (two adult tickets required per person, per ride, $1.50 each), or $2.75 on the Presto refillable transit card. A day pass costs $7.95. Children 5 and under ride free.

Admission to the War Museum alone is $13 for adults, $11 for seniors, $10 for students and $8 for children aged 3-12. The family price (up to five people, including two adults max) is $32, which is a savings of up to $24.

Combo prices are available to both the War Museum and the Museum of Civilization (a 4-minute drive away) and can also include an IMAX film located at the Museum of Civilization. Group discounts are also available. More pricing information can be found on their website.

For those looking to visit a number of galleries and museums in the Ottawa-Gatineau area, a Canada's Capital Museums Passport is available for 50% off entry into eight museums in the area over a seven-day period. The Passport is $45 per person, or $99 per family and can be purchased at the museum. More information can be found on the Passport's website.
